Hello Church,
We’ve got a great week ahead of us. We started off this morning with worship at 1st Christian Church at 7am. We had a great crowd, but there is always room for more. Take a look at the schedule below.
Also, in case you can’t make any of the services that we’re having here at the church, we’ll be streaming them on Facebook and YouTube so you can join us wherever you are.
A couple of other quick notes then I’m going to be done with this part of the email for this week. Monday morning April 1st (the day after Easter) we need folks to help move pews. We’ll be meeting at the church at 7am, and we’ll have donuts and coffee/juice/etc. We need to move them off the tile so that we can start replacing the flooring.
Also, tomorrow night (Tues) Choir will be meeting at 5:30 and not 5.
Alright, that’s it. Read below to see what else is going on.
